*Inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may occur, so the information below is strictly of an advisory nature and is subject to change with no notice.

Pothole patching, sweeping, drain & ditch work, litter pick up, brush clearing, culvert repairs and additional work by our KYTC maintenance crews may occur on major interstates/state routes during non-peak daytime hours and at night.

Motorists should watch for roadside maintenance on interstates/highways throughout the district DAILY. We will send out information to the public if these tasks require significant impacts to traffic.

I-275 CARROLL CROPPER BRIDGE UPDATE

The scaffolding plan for the bridge has received final approval. Starting the week of Sept. 21, crews will begin installing scaffolding to prepare for floor beam repairs.

Once those repairs officially begin, we’ll provide another update along with a revised completion date for the overall project. Floor beam repairs are the final phase of work for the project.

KENTON AND CAMPBELL COUNTIES

A preventive maintenance project on several routes in Kenton and Campbell counties is now complete. For a list of all the locations, read our original press release here.

The project included crack sealing, electrical work and the application of a thin asphalt overlay known as a thinlay. Thinlays are used as a pavement preservation treatment to restore surface conditions and extend the service life of roads that are still structurally sound.

BOONE AND KENTON COUNTIES

A guardrail installation project on a portion of River Road (KY 8) and Richwood Road (KY 338) is now complete.

AA Highway (KY 9) and KY 709 Intersection – A project to add two new turning lanes at the AA Highway (KY 9) and KY 709 intersection will begin on Monday, Sept. 22.

-A right turn lane from AA Highway southbound to KY 709 westbound (mile point 12.3 to 12.1)

-A right turn lane from KY 709 eastbound to AA Highway southbound (mile point 0.4 to 0.46)

Traffic signals and roadway signage will also be updated to coincide with the new lanes.

A single right lane closure on AA Highway southbound will be in place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Additionally, a closure of KY 709 eastbound from east of the Seasons entrance (mile point 0.36) to the AA highway intersection will also be necessary for the installation of the new turning lane. When the closure is in place, traffic will be detoured via KY 709 to Alexandria Pike (U.S. 27) to AA Highway. We will provide an update once the closure is scheduled.

Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by Nov. 1, 2025.

I-71 – 44 mile marker – a bridge inspection will take place on the bridges over the Kentucky River beginning Tuesday, Sept. 23. Crews will work between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. This work will require a single right lane closure during working hours. On Tuesday, Sept. 23, crews will work on I-71 southbound. On Wednesday, Sept. 24, crews will work on I-71 northbound. All lanes reopen by 4:30 p.m. daily. Weather permitting, this inspection is expected to be completed Wednesday, Sept. 24 at 4:30 p.m.
I-71 – 38.8 – 53.4 mile points – A maintenance repair project is in progress on I-71 from the Trimble County line to the Gallatin County line.

Crews have been hard at work addressing the roughest sections of pavement along this corridor. The most serious base failures have already been repaired, and contractors are now milling and resurfacing those problem spots to help reduce potholes and improve ride quality.

Beginning Friday, Sept. 19 at 8 p.m. through Monday, Sept. 22 at 8 a.m., there will be a southbound right single lane closure throughout the project area. Motorists are encouraged to find alternate routes and to anticipate traffic delays. All lanes will reopen Monday, Sept. 22 at 8 a.m.
